Ingredients

  • 1 head of cauliflower or romanesco, sliced lengthwise in 4 slices
  • 1 bell pepper, remove seeds, and cut into thick strips
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes cut in half
  • 1 small onion cut into slices
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • pinch paprika
  • 1 tsp cracked pepper
  • 2 tsp Italian seasoning

  • 2 cups sliced cucumbers
  • 1 cup sliced radishes
  • 4 tablespoons light salad dressing

Instructions

  1. Place the cauliflower or romanesco in an oven-proof skillet with the peppers, tomatoes, and onions. Sprinkle with olive oil and seasonings. Bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes, turning the veggies once or twice. They are done when browned and crisp-tender.

  3. Place the roasted veggies in the center of the plates on top of the hummus.
  4. Sprinkle each plate with one tablespoon of light dressing.

  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 8 ounces buffalo stew meat, cut in small pieces
  • 2 cans pinto beans, drained
  • 1 can crushed tomatoes, no salt added
  • 1 large red yam, cut in cubes
  • 2 cups vegetable or beef broth, low sodium
  • 2 tsp ground cumin
  • 2 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp oregano
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp red pepper flakes
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 sprig parsley
  • Garnish: 1/2 cup shredded cheddar
  • Garnish: 1/2 cup diced raw onion or green scallion
  • Garnish: 4 tsp sour cream

Instructions

  1. Place the olive oil in a Dutch oven pan. Saute the onions and garlic.
  2. Add the buffalo or lean beef and brown briefly.
